<-------------- If you vote, I'd be the happiest girl alive. :) But some don't care for me so. :(
New description, check that out too :) ------------->
& For those asking, Jacob cannot control his stuttering. It's natural for him but he does it more when he's nervous. The reason why he is a 'nerd' all of a sudden will be revealed later in the book. >;) I can't wait to write it! You're gonna be hella shocked. TRUST!!! :D

"You did not just do that!" I squealed.
Jacob smirked, "I-I think I just did!"
He just smeared ice cream all over my face and mouth. Apparently I was 'blabbing too much' so this is how he repays me. Freaking jerk!
We were sitting in a booth at the local ice cream joint 'Fraziers'. They legit have the best ice cream, I couldn't imagine a better date. Whoa, what?!
I quickly shook that thought out of my head and glared at Jacob who was almost in tears from laughing so hard. Har Har. So not funny!
"You have five seconds to run." I threatened.
He rose an eyebrow, "Or?" He challenged.
"One."
"I-Is the baby upset s-she got ice cream o-on her nose?" He teased.
"Damn right I am. Two."
"You won't hurt m-me."
"Three."
I gave him my best glare in hopes that he would get scared because honestly, I had no idea what I'm counting for. I just want to avoid talking about that whole situation earlier at school.
"Four."
"W-When did you a-and Justin break u-up?" Jacob suddenly asked.
I wasn't all that taken back by his question, so I was able to regain my composure, "A few days ago." I shrugged, as if it were no big deal when in reality, my heart was hanging by a thread.
His eyes widened, "W-Why?!"
I looked away, "Something about rumors and how he couldn't take them anymore before he started to believe them himself." I whispered. It was barely audible, I know. I could already feel that hurt starting in my chest.
Being with Jacob helped that hurt stay away. Even if it was just for a little while, he took it away. But not even Jacob could stop the pain from hitting me as hard.
"O-Oh my gosh! Wh-Wh...A-Are...H-H..."
I grabbed his hand from across the table. He was totally freaking out. He was almost as shocked as I was, if not even more. It's nice to know someone cared. Even after all the hell Justin put him through, he still cared. I couldn't ask for a better friend. He's genuine.
We both looked down at our intertwined hands. I felt warm inside as I held his hand. It's nice to feel comfort when I'm practically dying inside.
I looked back up to his eyes and gave him a reassuring smile, "Calm down." I soothed, running my thumb along his knuckles. "It's fine, really. I can't blame him, I wasn't thinking about how everything was effecting him. I didn't think about him enough and that was a mistake on my part."
He still looked worried, "I-Is that why you w-were running? T-That's why you were str-stressed?"
I sighed, but nodded, "Yeah. I mean- Sorry, you probably don't want to hear me blab. This 'date' is supposed to be about us." I smiled, or tried, because I could tell Jacob didn't buy it for one bit.
He shook his head, "N-No. This is a p-part of my deal f-for winning." He smirked.
I laughed, "You mean cheating right?" I teased.
He waved his free hand dismissively, making a 'psht' sound. "I-It's just pure t-talent, babe."
I gaped at him, "Did you just call me...'babe'?!" I exclaimed.
He pretended to think, "Why, y-yes I did." He replied.
"What on Earth happened to the shy, quiet Jacob? No offense, but you're a nerd! And for a nerd, you're extremely cocky!"
"I am e-extremely cocky," He smirked, "If y-you know what I-I mean." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"Oh my gosh! You did not just say that!"
"I did."
"This can't be happening." I muttered.
"Got 99 p-problems but my d-dick ain't one!" He sang, causing everyone inside the shop to stare at us with shocked faces.
I playfully smacked his shoulder, "You're embarassing me!" I hissed.
He playfully rolled his eyes, "L-Like I said, I didn't used to a-alway be a nerd."
"So, what? Some big event caused you to be a loner?" I teased, but Jacob didn't take it that way.
He took his hand out of mine and looked out the window. A sorrowful look crossed his face, which made my body fill with concern. I knew I hit a nerve, but I didn't mean to. Could something really cause someone to become a loner? I just thought you were born one from lack of confidence, but I guess I was wrong. Jacob was the proof.
"D-Did I say something wrong? I'm s-"
"You don't have to apologize," He whispered, "I'm fine. Really." He smiled, but I could tell it was as fake as a three-dollar bill.
I decided not to push him on the subject. The last thing we needed was two emotional teenagers. The atmosphere would get really awkward and one of us would probably get depressed. Right? I don't know.
I simply nodded, "If you want to talk, I'm always here."
He grinned and took my hand back in his. I felt all tingly inside from this little gesture.
"Thank you."
I have a feeling that that was supposed to have a double meaning, but I just couldn't figure out what.
"I'm always here for you Jacob. For anything. And I mean that."
And I really did. I'd do anything for my friends. He's been kind, sweet, and just all around a good guy. I wouldn't change him for the world. I like that he's shy, but once he gets to know you, his personality shines brighter than the sun. I like the way he smiles; it's contagious and I can't help to smile back.
He looked into my eyes, as I looked into his. His eyes were dark, but if you look deep and close, you can see a little honey brown. His long, thick eyelashes is what set his eyes up. His eyelashes really make his eyes pop.
He smiled, showing his pearly whites, and I couldn't help but to smile back.
_____________________________
I walked into the gym the next day for my free period. I had more than enough credits so I only had to take four classes during the day. I'm ranked number one of my class for grades. Technically, I could graduate with Justin's class if I want, but I want the high school experience. I'm a sophomore and I wanted to go to the formals, and homecoming, and prom (even though I went to all of those with Justin).
I knew the gym would be empty because all the teachers on this wing has this period as prep.
I opened the double doors and glazed around the gym. The bleachers were out, meaning that there's a game tonight, and it was completely silent. You could probably hear a pen drop.
I walked into the girls locker room and quickly changed into my purple cheerleading shorts and white tank top. I put my hair into a pony tail, stuffed my other clothes into the gym locker, locked it, and headed out of the locker room.
Just as I was about to open the door, I heard giggling coming from the bleachers. The locker room door was on the side of the bleachers, so I practically had the perfect view of everything. Since I didn't want to be caught, I chose to crack the door and listen closely, just being my curious self.
"I know you want me, just admit it." The girl flirted. Her voice was nasally and I knew it was the school slut, Brianna Brockington. Another one of her victims I see. Poor guy.
Brianna was about 5'4 with black and blonde hair that stopped at her shoulders. She was thin and resembled a snake. She was no more than a B cup and had absolutely no ass. I honestly don't see what guys see in her.
"You're easy access, I like a challenge." A deep, husky voice said. The voice made my heart flutter and the butterflies began to fly. Justin.
"Easy access?!" Brianna squeaked, sounding outraged, "I'm easy access?!"
"You are." Justin said simply.
It made me smile at how he wasn't even giving into her. He was never the type to hoe around. He always liked a challenge. And well, Brianna was anything but a challenge.
"No!" she shouted, "I'll tell you who's easy, and that's your hoe of a girlfriend!"
I gasped at her words. How the fuck am I slut when I've only slept with one guy? This girl can't be serious when there's a 'For Rent' sign hanging from her vagina whole.
It was silent for a moment then I heard a bang followed by a squeal.
"Don't you ever talk about Ne'Vaeh like that." Justin spat. "She doesn't open her legs for the fucking public unlike you." He sounded like he wanted to do nothing more than choke her.
All the while, my heart quickened at his words. He was defending me. So he had to still care right? Why else would he defend me? It's pretty fucking clear to the whole school I'm not a hoe, but he still felt the need to defend me. That has to count for something right? Maybe he still loves me!
I didn't hear anything after that, so I walked out of the locker room, thinking to coast was clear. But it wasn't.
Justin sat on the bleachers with his head in his hands. He looked really stressed and that made my heart drop. Were all these rumors about his ex-girlfriend really affecting him this much? I feel worse now. He did nothing but love me, and I didn't even take time to realize what I was doing, was effecting him so negatively.
Walking up to him, I placed a hand on his shoulder. His head snapped up and his eyes raked my body. I shifted uncomfortably under his stare, suddenly feeling self-concious.
His eyes stopped at my shorts and suddenly became lust-filled. I quickly took my hand of his shoulder and glanced down at my shorts.
I suddenly realized why he became lust-filled. I was wearing his favorite purple shorts. His favorite color. He says purple on me, always turns him on.
I sucked in a much needed breath, "I heard."
He looked up at me, "Heard what?"
"Brianna."
He sighed, "Oh."
"Thank you." I said, "For sticking up for me, I mean." I quickly added, "Even though you don't love me anymore-"
"Who said I didn't love you anymore?" He wanted to know.
"It's pretty obvious, you broke up with me and-"
"Breaking up with a person doesn't stop them from loving someone, Ne'Vaeh." He said. "You can't stop loving someone over night."
"So you still-"
"Love you?" He interrupted...again. "Of course. I only broke up with you to prove a point. I was starting to feel worthless. I felt like you didn't care for me anymore. You started blowing me off, putting our relationship last. I understand you only wanted to help, I do, but I felt like you were pushing me away."
He looked really beat up about everything. I couldn't help but feel guilty.
I sighed and took a seat next to him on the bleachers, "I know I messed up. You have no clue how bad I feel. I didn't even realize I was pushing you away, and I'm sorry. I let someone else get in the way of what was most important, us. And for that I'm sorry for as well. I hope you can forgive me and things can go back to how they were before."
He smiled, "I'd like that."
________________________________
"Is it true?!" My bestfriend, Noriah, shouted as we stood by my locker.
"Is what true?" I asked, opening my locker.
"You know! That you and Justin got back together!"
I shrugged, "Yeah. We worked it out in the gym this morning."
"I'm glad, chicka. I don't like seeing you down."
I put the rest of my books in my locker and shut it.
"Yeah, me too. I love the mess out of that boy!"
She laughed, "I can tell. But hey, I have to tutor, so I'll text you later."
I nodded and she stalked off.
I'm glad Justin and I decided to work things out. I was really relieved when he said he still loved me. I didn't want to sulk in bed all day, but love makes you do crazy things.
While I was walking down the hallway, my butt began to vibrate. I took out my iPhone and answered it, not bothering to look at the caller i.d.
"Hello?"
"Hello, sweetie!"
"Mom?!"
